Hi Ruth If you do build a stud partition wall , make sure you stand it off the party wall by at least 25 mm as this also stop sound transfer , there are two types of sound , one being airborne sound , the other physical ( where one surface touches another and sound is transmitted through physical vibrations Regards Craig Notts renovations
Hi Ruth Yes as the previous answer suggests, I would agree that this is the best solution, if you can afford to loose the depth by using a say 50mm insulation board plus plasterboard where required. (Plasterboard Maybe not required in loft if not a habitable space) Regards Kevin Davies
It may be best to build a timber frame on the required walls and fill full with insulation to dampen the sound.
